He is absolutely incredible at driving, drawing a second defender, going up in the air and when the defender commits, fining an open cutter. He has incredible vision in crowds like that.

If he only goes down as a volume shooter that would be a bit of a shame

As underrated as his passing may be at times you can't classify him with the other greats because he has been a scorer for almost all his career. Only this season is he becoming a playmaker all around so to say.

Hands down?
Nice one.... completely subjective and most people would disagree......

Hands down. He's has way more accomplishments and accolades than any other player they could name. Bill Russell? Wilt Chamberlin? Kareem? Now I did have someone once tell me Kareem was the 2nd best ever. The thing is, Kobe can do it in so many ways where those guys were more less just back to basket type players. If you look deeper in the numbers Kobe has actually hit 1,000 more 3s than MJ did.

Hands down seems a little far fetched. I can see a n argument for Kobe at second best all time...have to see where his career needs. To say he is hands down better than Russell,Wilt, or Kareem is kinda dispatching th older guys...

Alrighty, He must have gotten a TON of assists this season! I think he's 32nd or 33rd all time in assists.

Do a poll - is Kobe the 2nd best player of all time? The results would be resoundingly against, I'm sure.
You're entitled to your opinion, but to say "hands down" is far too strong because you're stating it as fact then, not just opinion. And it's not a fact.

"It's trying to evolve and figured out what we need as a ballclub," Bryant said of his new style. "Instead of me being a finisher, I'm just really facilitating and drawing the defense in and making plays. I game-planned for it, and it seems to be working."
